From letter received today from
Canton, Kansas, the information comes
of the murder of stookman supposed to
be we'll known San Antonio horse
buyer and shipper, VIM. Campbell.
The letter goes on to state that burn

town led to the discovery Of the muir

the murderer to destroy all evil

was preserved in alcohol for identifioa-
ton and has been partially identified by
one ofthe dead mans friends. Camp.

bunch of horses toward Kansas, and "a
no one knows his exact whereabouts
since the murder, the suppOsition is fair
that this was his body. The day OF the
murder, two men with bunch Of ponies
camped In the pasture where the body
was found, and only one Of them was
seen alive after that, and he was noticed
lodging about the stack until it was
fired, when he and the horses
disappeared, although he was after
ward arrested and Is now In Jail,
charged with the murder. He proved
to be Frank Vangorder, friend Of
Campbell and known to several Texas
cowmen now in Kansas. He denies the
murder and although circumstances are
decidedly against him, yet his previous
quiet demeanor and good character has
a tendency to cause leniency OF public
opinion to be shown him. The sum OF
Sll4l.35 Identified as the money of the
dead man was found upon his person.
The ooroner's jury who examined the
remains found that deceased had been
shot in the back of the head and had
evidently been given no showing for his
life st all by his cowardly murderer.

Conflicting rumors are abroad il
regard to the building Of the Eutaw
vile Railroad to run through a part
of Clarendon to Sumter. A number
ofpersons presumed to be among the
knowing ones, assert boldly that the
Road will never be built and that the
enterprise is only a movement to filcl
money from the Atlantic Coast Line,
whose interest it is to nip The project
cd road in the bud. There are others
N the same position behind the cur
tain, who give sanguine accounts Of
the Road being built in no distant
time. Railroading has gotten to be
so much of a lottery or speculation
business, that it is bard to tell what
will be the final outcome Of this Eu-
tawville Road. The grading and thu
construction Of the Road has COM
menced, and there seems little doubt
but that the enterprise will be prose
cuted to the end. Kowever, if the
Road is built, II is apparent that the
line will be bold competitor with
the Atlantic Coast Line to Charleston.
This powerful corporation it is con
tended viii never submit to this, and
will suppress the Eutawville Road if
it has to buy ofthe projectors. There
Is common sense and reason in this
hence it is hard to make a safe pre-
Gction about this Road.

EDITORIAL CANT.

There are certain words and phras
es, used almost exclusively by the cdi-
torial head of newspapers, which
could with greater propriety be aaan-
doned than utilized. It is common
to find such expressions as these in
the average local sheet: " Ec are sorry
to learn that Dir. 4. suffered a severe
loss x x; the afflicted family have
our aoarn,eS sympathy; o,U.fr3ead, Mr.
B., ***, or We were glad to meet Mr.
c.. ***." The reader is pe,plexed 10
discover whether the sheet is 2 private
diary, personal letter, or a pubic
Journal.
Newspapers are for every body to
read. What interest has the general
reader, who has perhaps never heard
of Mr.: A, in the effect of bis mistor-
tunes on the editors feelings, OF that
gentleman's sympathy for the a11iict-
ed family of SsIr. B, when the latter
shifts off his mortality. Nor is it a
very interesting item to the public to
know who the editor is disposed 10
style s:ou, friend" or which OF his call
ers see ,ce,'e l,lsosel to meet." The Gus
tom is not only odious, but from our
knowledge OF human nature, is unpor-
ular. The intelligent reader is too fa.
miliar with these stereotyped phrases
to place much value on their use. The
enjoyment Of the shallow pated ego
&ist is only momentarv when he sees
his name in print preceded oy the
Distinguishing phrase ''our friend"
and the man Of sense experiences
feeling OF mingled indifference ani
contempt.
A newspaper purports to chronicle
the news of the day, and to contain
the opinions Of the editor on matter
that concerns the public. Consequent
ly its columns are no place to express
the tender emotions Of his heart for
and individual. When the editor feels
that he is bubbli- over with love,
sympathy, and IL. ship for an ac-
quaintance, q private letter would be
the more fitting way to convey this
information than through his paper.
1t would at least be more modest and
would perhaps have better effect.
Editors from their professions are
either pbilanthropisss or arch hypo-
c7its.
We will be glad to see the time
come when this newspaper cant is rel
esated to oblivion. It will be the
commencement Of more wholesome
aud Independent period in journalism.

His War-paint.

\ private soldier Of the Army OF the
Potomac tells the following story with
sll the more relish, perhaps, because
it bears against an officer. The Incl
dent occurred on the ninth day Of the
lighting around Spots; lvania. The
private worn with continuous march
ing and fighting, had slept from SIX
o'clock one evening till two in the at
ternoon of tie next day:
q breakfasted about three, anu
then, feeling flisIy, volunteered to so
to a spring quarter Of a mile to the
rear, the first portion OF the path to
which was commanded by Confeder-
ate rifles. My comrades loaded me
down with empty canteens, and | ran
TO avoid the sharpshooters fire, to the
protection of tie forest behind US.
There saw many soldiers, hollow
eyed, tired looking men, lying on the
ground sleeping soundly. The water
in the sprins had been rolled, so !
searched Tor another higher up the
run. While looking Tor it, I saw a
colonel OF infantry pat On his wal
paint.
It was a howling farce il one act.
This blonde, bcwhisEered brave sat
safely behind a large oak tree. He
looked round quickly. His face hard
cned with resolution. He took cai
fridge out OF his vest pocket, tore the
paper with lis strong white teeth.
spilled the powder into his right palm,
spst on it, and then, first casting g
quick glance around to see il he was
observed, he rubbed the moistened
powder on his face and hands, and
then dust-coated the war paint. In
stantlv he was transformed from .
trembling coward, lurking o@1iad !;
tree, into an exhausted t'raye, taking
a little weli-earned repose.
That night I dreamed Of comic
PLAYS and extravagant burlesGues, bu;
in the widest of dream vagarles there
was 40 picture that compared with
the actual one / had seen il the for
